USB DACs *can* operate in asynchronous mode (where the master clock is in the DAC and controls the transfer from the computer host), but many USB DACs (especially the cheaper ones) operate in adaptive mode where the DAC has no control over the transfer. It's just as bad as SPDIF in that respect (typically worse, in fact, because the clocks in PCs are usually less stable than those in digital audio transports).
